Chestnut-backed chickadee in Ashland, Oregon

…unless you are outside North America.

After watching Listers twice in the past four months, I may have found a new hobby.

partially frozen Little Hyatt Lake (January 2, 2026)

For whatever reason, it took us almost 25 years to visit Little Hyatt Lake for the first time in 2025. However, we just drove by because a scary-looking truck was parked there, and it wasn’t our destination on that day anyway.

Flash forward a few months to warmer-than-usual January temperatures, and we decided to go again. This time we hiked in on the PCT.

Ashland, Oregon (November 20, 2025)

Just over a week ago, the skies were looking good, and the fall colors weren’t completely gone, so I headed over the freeway for this view of Ashland, hoping to see the fresh snow on Mt. Ashland as well. Unfortunately, Mt. Ashland was obscured by clouds, but the rest looked pretty good for this late in autumn.
